      Hi. I want to show the Volume of the geometry in a DC, to later calculate quantities and costs.
      I used this code:

      Sketchup.active_model.selection.grep(Sketchup;;ComponentInstance).each do |s|
          if s.volume>-1
            s.set_attribute "dynamic_attributes","vol_inch", s.volume 
            s.set_attribute "dynamic_attributes","volumen_mm", "0"
            s.set_attribute "dynamic_attributes", "_volumen_mm_access","VIEW"
            s.set_attribute "dynamic_attributes","_volumen_mm_formlabel","Volume (cubic ft) " 
            s.set_attribute "dynamic_attributes","_volumen_mm_formula", "ROUND(vol_inch*16387.064,3)"
          end     
          $dc_observers.get_latest_class.redraw_with_undo(s)
       end
      

      Works. But when I modify the geometry the volume does not change.
      Is there a way to get the volume in a DC constantly and dynamically as the geometry changes?
